Gig Solutions

Just wrapped up another site:

http://gigsolutions.com

[Wishbone]

I'm seeing:

We are sorry, but it has been detected that the browser you are using is not supported by this web site. Please download and install one of the following browsers in order to view this web site. We are sorry for the inconvience.

Won't that limit traffic to your site? (I'm using IE6) Are you using fancy features (like alpha channel PNGs) or something that won't render on not-too-old browsers?

Also, how will they ever be able to get a gig without a way to contact them (unless I missed it)?

Very nice looking site, however, they really need a copy editor to spell/grammar check the content. When your product is communication, attention to these details is very important.

Yup, the client and I made a decision to not support IE6.

Case in point, the site is not really finish so I might have mis-spoken. The site went live because the client wants to force himself to make updates to the site since he has been lazy with it.

Reminds me of the good ol' days of "Site best viewed in "

[duclet]

It does. But sometimes you just have to let those old browsers die off.

your filter is not working right... I said I should dl IE7+... when I viewed it on IE7+.... no good... that a big chunk of people...

IMHO My2Cents is a site that does this is a site type of filtering fails... a service site should not exclude users.  I've been thru this and that’s the only reason I say it...

Something must be wrong with your computer. I have tested this on multiple computers and viewing it in IE7 worked for me.

As for filtering users, it does not matter in this case, at least that is what the stats show.

No nothings wrong with it... what versions of IE7 did you test... there are 3 main version to account for in scripting...

7.0.6001.18000 >>As for filtering users, it does not matter in this case, at least that is what the stats show.

According to most of the stat sites I visit... 15 in total... they would disagree... but to the point I was talking about filtering in general... to me, there is really is no need for it... only a png fix should be needed... but that's a -5 min. site fix for me.... Like I said IMHO that's My2Cents...

The site looks good... I was just trying to be helpful that’s all...

IE7 gets the error page for me as well.

It's an OK site, but I don't see why you're not able to make this compatible with IE6, it shouldn't really be that hard. Also, why aren't you using an tag for the title on the page? Using a makes no sense.
